4 red lights is not necessarily a hardware failure or ring of death. The cause is usually from AV cable not being detected or not connected correctly.
The Eraser trick is good for Error 0102 make sure which error number you have!
Suggested Solutions:
1. Try to connect and disconnect the cable and see if it makes any changes on the red lights status. Note that not inserting the AV fully will cause the 4 lights error to appear.
2. Make sure the AV Cable and the connector in the Xbox console are proper and there is nothing banded or twisted.
3. Try to connect it to a different monitor maybe this is where the problem is.
4. Find the metal area where it plugs into the console this is called the AV Pack metal area. Use a dry, lint-free cloth and wipe it. Then try to plug the AV again.
* If you still can't make it to work and you have your warranty just send it in. If you don't have warranty I suggest trying the live chat support on Fixya!
